Thanks. Re: weeds, when Rosebay Willowherb blowing its seeds everywhere (often on building sites) I just stop breathing. well sort of.

Thank you for this info! My breathing was terrible last night! I considered calling 111 but I managed to get on top with extra inhalers!

I'm getting worse by the day!! Nose now too blocked to breathe through and lungs SO tight it's a nightmare. By adding one quarter of a 5mg Pred tablet each morning I'm surviving, which suggests to me that it's a hypersensitive reaction to an inhaled allergen, which the tiny bit of Pred is helping to damp down. If I'm still struggling next week will have to try & get hold of a GP!!

Thank you so much.That makes perfect sense as to why I struggle with breathing more after rain .

Ah, I wondered why I was so badly congested, hoped it would be better when weather changed. Nothing seems to be helping it at the moment my GP even suggested taking two certirizine but that made me so sleepy and weird, I couldn’t function at all. I was also using Dymista nose spray but went back on my flexinase nodules this morning. My ent consultant tells me the lining of my nose has been damaged by RA that’s why it’s super sensitive to everything. I had a parcel delivered on Monday and couldn’t bare the smell of the box! Sounds ridiculous I know! Of course that makes my asthma worse.

It's a wretched annoyance isn't it!?!
